and growth.  In addition, the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in
the Company by the offering and availability of stock options will assist the
Company in attracting and retaining key personnel and consultants of outstanding
ability.

power, subject to the provisions of the Plan, to grant Options, construe and
interpret the Plan, establish rules and regulations with respect to the Plan and
Options granted hereunder, and perform all other acts, including the delegation
of administrative responsibilities, that it believes reasonable and necessary.

       3.2    The Board shall have the sole discretion, subject to the
provisions of the Plan, to determine the Participants eligible to receive
Options pursuant to the Plan and the amount, type, and terms of any Options and
the terms and conditions of option agreements relating to any Option.

       3.3    The Board may correct any defect, supply any omission, or

outstanding shares of Stock of the Company by reason of any stock dividend,
split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, combination,
exchange of shares, or rights offering to purchase stock at a price
substantially below fair market value, or other similar corporate change, the
aggregate number of shares which may be subject to Options under the Plan and
the terms of any outstanding Option, including the number and kind of shares
subject to such Options and the purchase price per share thereof, shall be
appropriately adjusted by the Board, consistent with such change and in such
manner as the Board, in its sole discretion, may deem equitable to prevent
substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to or available for
Optionees.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, in no event shall any
fraction of a share of Stock be issued upon the exercise of an Option.

       4.3    AWARD LIMITATIONS UNDER THE PLAN.  No eligible participant, who is

of the Shares after the date of grant of such Options for more than 1,500,000
shares (subject to adjustment as provided for in Section 4.2 relating to stock
splits, etc.), in the aggregate, in any one calendar year period beginning with
the period commencing January 1, 1997 and ending December 31, 1997.  The
foregoing annual limitation specifically includes the grant of any Options
representing "qualified performance based compensation" within the meaning of
Section 162(m) of the Code.

5.     ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS

       The following persons are Participants eligible to participate in the
Plan:

       5.1    INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  Incentive Stock Options may be granted
only to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary, including officers and
directors who are also employees of the Company or any Subsidiary.

       5.2    NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS.  Non-statutory stock options may be
granted to (i) any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary, including any
officer or director who is also an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary;
and (ii) any consultant to, or other independent contractor of, the Company.

6.     GRANT OF OPTIONS

       Subject to the terms, conditions, and limitations set forth in this Plan,
the Company, by action of its Board, may from time to time grant Options to
purchase shares of the Company's Stock to those eligible Participants as may be
selected by the Board, in such amounts and on such other terms as the Board in
its sole discretion shall determine.  Such Options may be (i) "Incentive Stock
Options" so designated by the Board and which, when granted, are intended to
qualify as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422A of the Code; (ii)
"Non-Statutory

<PAGE>

Stock Options" so designated by the Board and which, when granted, are not
intended to, or do not, qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422A
of the Code; or (iii) a combination of both.  The date on which the Board
approves the granting of an Option shall be the date of grant of such Option,
unless a different date is specified by the Board on such date of approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the grant of any Incentive
Stock Option under the Plan, the aggregate fair market value of Stock
(determined as of the date the Option is granted) with respect to which
incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an Optionee in
any calendar year (under all such stock option plans of the Company or
Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.  Each grant of an Option under the
Plan shall be evidenced by a written stock option agreement between the
Company and the Optionee setting forth the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the Plan, under which the Option so granted may be
exercised pursuant to the Plan and containing such other terms with respect
to the Option as the Board in its sole discretion may determine.

7.     OPTION PRICE AND FORM OF PAYMENT

       7.1    INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS.  The purchase price for a share of Stock
subject to an Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder shall not be less than
100% of the fair market value of the Stock.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to any Optionee then owning more
than 10% of the voting power of all classes of the Company's stock, the purchase
price per share of the Stock subject to such Option shall not be less than 110%
of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant of the Incentive
Stock Option, determined as provided in Section 7.3.

       7.2    NON-STATUTORY STOCK OPTIONS The purchase price for a share of
Stock subject to a non-statutory stock Option shall be not less than the lesser
of (a) 100% of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of grant or (b)
the greater of (i) 85% of the fair market value of the Stock on the date of
grant and (ii) $6.00 per share.

       7.3    DETERMINATION OF FAIR MARKET VALUE.  For purposes of this Section
7, the "fair market value" of the Stock shall be determined as follows:

              (a)    if the Stock of the Company is listed or admitted to
       unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange, the fair
       market value on any given day shall be the closing sale price for the
       Stock, or if no sale is made on such day, the closing bid price for such
       day on such exchange;

              (b)    if the Stock is not listed or admitted to unlisted trading
       privileges on a national securities exchange, the fair market value on
       any given day shall be the closing sale price for the Stock as reported
       on the NASDAQ National Market System on such day, or if no sale is made
       on such day, the closing bid price for such day as entered by a market
       maker for the Stock;

<PAGE>

              (c)    if the Stock is not listed on a national securities
       exchange, it is not admitted to unlisted trading privileges on any such
       exchange, and is not eligible for inclusion in the NASDAQ National Market
       System, the fair market value on any given day shall be the average of
       the closing representative bid and asked prices as reported by the
       National Quotation Bureau, Inc. or, if the Stock is not quoted on the
       National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations System,
       then as reported in any publicly available compilation of the bid and
       asked prices of the Stock in any over-the-counter market on which the
       Stock is traded; or

              (d)    if there exists no public trading market for the Stock, the
       fair market value on any given day shall be an amount determined in good
       faith by the Board in such manner as it may reasonably determine in its
       discretion, provided that such amount shall not be less than the book
       value per share as reasonably determined by the Board as of the date of
       determination or less than the par value of the Stock.

       7.4.   PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.  Except as provided herein, the
purchase price of each share of Stock purchased upon the exercise of any Option
shall be paid:

              (a)    in United States dollars in cash or by check, bank draft or
       money order payable to the order of the Company; or

              (b)    at the discretion of the Board, through the delivery of
       shares of Stock, having initially or as a result of successive exchanges
       of shares, an aggregate fair market value (as determined in the manner
       provided under this Plan) equal to the aggregate purchase price for the
       Stock as to which the Option is being exercised; or

              (c)    at the discretion of the Board, by a combination of both
       (a) and (b) above; or

              (d)    by such other method as may be permitted in the written
       stock option agreement between the Company and the Optionee.

       If such form of payment is permitted, the Board shall determine
procedures for tendering Stock as payment upon exercise of an Option and may
impose such additional limitations and prohibitions on the use of Stock as
payment upon the exercise of an Option as it deems appropriate.

       If the Board in its sole discretion so agrees, the Company may finance
the amount payable by an Optionee upon exercise of any Option upon such terms
and conditions as the Board may determine at the time such Option is granted
under this Plan.

<PAGE>

8.     EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

       8.1    MANNER OF EXERCISE.  An Option, or any portion thereof, shall be
exercised by delivering a written notice of exercise to the Board and paying to
the Company the full purchase price of the Stock to be acquired upon the
exercise of the Option.  Until certificates for Stock acquired upon the exercise
of an Option are issued to an Optionee, such Optionee shall not have any rights
as a shareholder of the Company.

       8.2    LIMITATIONS AND CONDITIONS ON EXERCISE OF OPTIONS.  In addition to
any other limitations or conditions contained in this Plan or that may be
imposed by the Board from time to time or in the stock option agreement to be
entered into with respect to Options granted hereunder, the following
limitations and conditions shall apply to the exercise of Options granted under
this Plan:

       8.2.1  No Incentive Stock Option may be exercisable by its terms after
the expiration of 10 years from the date of the grant thereof.

       8.2.2  No Incentive Stock Option granted pursuant to the Plan to an
eligible Participant then owning more than 10% of the voting power of all
classes of the Company's stock may be exercisable by its terms after the
expiration of five years from the date of the grant thereof.

9.     INVESTMENT PURPOSES

       Unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 is in
effect with respect to Stock to be purchased upon exercise of Options to be
granted under the Plan, the Company shall require that an Optionee agree with
and represent to the Company in writing that he or she is acquiring such shares
of Stock for the purpose of investment and with no present intention to
transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of such shares of stock other than by
transfers which may occur by will or by the laws of descent and distribution,
and no shares of Stock may be transferred unless, in the opinion of counsel to
the Company, such transfer would be in compliance with applicable securities
laws.  In addition, unless a registration statement under the Securities Act of
1933 is in effect with respect to the Stock to be purchased under the Plan, each
certificate representing any shares of Stock issued to an Optionee hereunder
shall have endorsed thereon a legend in substantially the following form:

       THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ISSUED WITHOUT
       REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
       "ACT") AND WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE STATE
       SECURITIES LAWS, IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTION(S) CONTAINED THEREIN.
       NO TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE MADE
       EXCEPT PURSUANT TO EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENTS UNDER SAID
       LAWS UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
       SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSFER OR

<PAGE>

       DISPOSITION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER SAID LAWS AND,
       FOR ANY SALES UNDER RULE 144 OF THE ACT, SUCH EVIDENCE AS IT
       SHALL REQUEST FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THAT RULE, OR APPLICABLE STATE
       SECURITIES LAWS.

10.    TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS

       No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by an Optionee
(whether by sale, assignment, hypothecation or otherwise) other than by will or
the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the
Optionee's lifetime only by the Optionee.

11.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

       11.1   GENERALLY.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11, if
any Optionee's employment with the Company or Subsidiary is terminated
(hereinafter "Termination") other than by death or disability (as hereinafter
defined), the Optionee may exercise any Option granted under the Plan, to the
extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of
Termination, for a period of three (3) months after the date of Termination or
until the term of the Option has expired, whichever date is earlier.

       11.1.1        The Optionee may exercise any Incentive Stock Option
granted under the Plan, to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Incentive Stock Option at the date of Termination, for a period three (3) months
after the date of Termination or until the term of the Incentive Stock Option
has expired, whichever date is earlier.

       11.1.2        The Optionee may exercise any Non-Statutory Stock Option
granted under the Plan, to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise the
Non-Statutory Stock Option at the date of Termination, for a period of up to
eighteen (18) months after the date of Termination, as determined by the
Committee, or until the term of the Non-Statutory Option has expired, whichever
date is earlier.

       11.2   DEATH OR DISABILITY OF OPTIONEE.  In the event of the death or
disability of an Optionee prior to expiration of an Option held by him or her,
the following provisions shall apply:

       11.2.1        If the Optionee is at the time of his or her Disability
employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and has been in continuous employment
(as determined by the Board in its sole discretion) since the date of grant of
the Option, then the Option may be exercised by the Optionee until the earlier
of one year following the date of such Disability or the expiration date of the
Option, but only to the extent the Optionee was entitled to exercise such Option
at the time of his or her Disability.  For the purpose of this Section 11, the
term "Disability" shall mean a permanent and total disability as defined in
Section 22(e)(3) of the Code.  The determination of whether an Optionee has a
Disability within the meaning of Section 22(e)(3) shall be made by the Board in
its sole discretion.

<PAGE>

       11.2.2        If the Optionee is at the time of his or her death employed
by the Company or a Subsidiary and has been in continuous employment (as
determined by the Board in its sole discretion) since the date of grant of the
Option, then the Option (including all then vested and unvested options) may be
exercised by the Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to
exercise the Option by will or the laws of descent and distribution, until the
earlier of one year from the date of the Optionee's death or the expiration date
of the Option.

       11.2.3        If the Optionee dies within three (3) months after
Termination, the Option may be exercised until the earlier of nine months
following the date of death or the expiration date of the Option, by the
Optionee's estate or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option
by will or the laws of descent or distribution, but only to the extent the
Optionee was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of Termination.

       11.3   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.  If the employment of an Optionee is
terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary for cause, then the Board shall have
the right to cancel any Options granted to the Optionee under the Plan.

12.    AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

       12.1   The Board, may at any time and from time to time suspend or
terminate the Plan in whole or in part or amend it from time to time in such
respects as may be in the best interests of the Company; provided, however, that
no such amendment shall be made without the approval of the shareholders if it
would:  (a) materially modify the eligibility requirements for Participants as
set forth in Section 5 hereof; (b) increase the maximum aggregate number of
shares of Stock which may be issued pursuant to Options, except in accordance
with Section 4.2 of the Plan; (c) reduce the minimum Option price per share as
set forth in Section 7 of the Plan, except in accordance with Section 4.2 of the
Plan; (d) extend the period of granting Options; or (e) materially increase in
any other way the benefits accruing to Optionees.

       12.2   No amendment, suspension or termination of this Plan shall,
without the Optionee's consent, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations
under any Option theretofore granted to him or her under the Plan.

       12.3   The Board may amend the Plan, subject to the limitations cited
above, in such manner as it deems necessary to permit the granting of Incentive
Stock Options meeting the requirements of future amendments to the Code.

       12.4   In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the
Company, each Option will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of
such proposed action, unless otherwise provided by the Board.  The Board may, in
the exercise of its sole discretion in such instances, declare that any Option
shall terminate as of a date fixed by the Board and give each Optionee the right
to exercise his or her Option as to all or any part of the optioned stock,
including shares as to which the Option would not otherwise be exercisable.  In
the event of a proposed sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, or the merger of the Company with or into another corporation, the
Optionee shall have the right to exercise the

<PAGE>

Option as to all of the optioned stock, including shares as to which the
Option would not otherwise be exercisable, and the Option shall be assumed or
an equivalent option shall be substituted by such successor corporation or a
parent or subsidiary of such successor corporation; and such new or
substituted option shall apply to all shares issued in addition to or in
substitution, replacement or modification of the shares theretofore covered
by such option provided that:

              (a)    the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares
       subject to the option immediately after the substitution or assumption
       over the aggregate option price of such shares shall not be more than the
       excess of the aggregate fair market value of all shares subject to the
       option immediately before such substitution or assumption over the
       aggregate option price of such shares,

              (b)    the new option or the assumption of the existing option
       shall not give the optionee additional benefits which he did not have
       under the old option or prior to such assumption except as to the
       accelerated vesting of the option due to such sale or merger, and

              (c)    a propriety adjustment of the original price shall be made
       among original shares subject to the option and any additional share or
       shares issued in substitution, replacement, or modification thereof.

13.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

       13.1   RIGHT TO CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT.  No person shall have any claim or
right to be granted an Option under the Plan, and the grant of an Option under
the Plan shall not be construed as giving an Optionee the right to continued
employment with the Company.  The Company further expressly reserves the right
at any time to dismiss an Optionee or reduce an Optionee's compensation with or
without cause, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, except as
provided herein or in a stock option agreement.

       13.2   WITHHOLDING TAXES.  The Company shall have the right to require
that payment or provision for payment of any and all withholding taxes due upon
the grant or exercise of an Option hereunder or the disposition of any Stock or
other property acquired upon exercise of an Option be made by an Optionee.  In
connection therewith, the Board shall have the right to establish such rules and
regulations or impose such terms and conditions in any agreement relating to an
Option granted hereunder with respect to such withholding as the Board may deem
necessary and appropriate.

       13.3   GOVERNING LAW.  The Plan shall be administered in the State of
Minnesota, and the validity, construction, interpretation, and administration of
the Plan and all rights relating to the Plan shall be determined solely in
accordance with the laws of such state, unless controlled by applicable federal
law, if any.

14.    EFFECTIVE DATE

       The effective date of the Plan is January 18, 1991.  No Option may be
